Be honest. Did you write the Shavian just hoping someone would remark on it? Like I just did?

Time well spent.

You are half correct. The movie is essentially a parody of the book. The book is unironic.

The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.
